Hey everyone, figured it's about time to make another one of these and show you all what I have been up to.
Honestly it has been a crazy few months, a lot of things going on in my personal life but everything seems to finally be getting figured out which means more time to develop! I am so appreciative of how much support I have gotten with Project Dagger and that alone inspires me everyday to continue working on this game and making it into something great.
One of the biggest changes I have been working on is the Perk system. Similar to other roguelikes is the ability to pick a passive bonus so things like increased stats, dropping a Molotov when you use your special ability like dashing as an adventurer, and boosted damage for certain weapons.
I really believe this is going to be a huge boost for the game in terms of making it interesting to play and really allow you as the player to hone in on your preferred playstyle. My whole goal is to progress development of the game in a direction that gives players a ton of variety with very little effort on the players side. I have almost all the big features and additions to the game implemented now it's time to utilize them to create as much content as possible.
One of the other things I have done is added in ammo text for ammo based weapons.
Currently I am working on adding in a lot of the new perks, I plan on having around 100 total unique perks for players to choose from. With the player ending a run with around 20 total. So we shall see how that goes.
In other works though I am adding in new enemies, weapons, and better variety for game levels! So stay tuned and consider joining the Discord server where I post live updates. I'm hoping to get 0.6.0 released here very soon!
